I call you at the time you pick. No slides, no pitch.
Three numbers from recent mandates
Changeover time in a press shop. The plan said two months.
It took 8 days.
Inbound warehouse lead time at a Tier 1 supplier.
Time to get an escalated Tier 1 supplier back to stable OEM deliveries.
I do not name my clients. I am happy to share the details on the call.
If any of these sounds familiar, this is for you
- Scrap, changeover or overtime has not moved for months, although everyone is working hard.
- The customer has escalated, asks for an action plan every week, and your team is burning out in firefighting.
- You sense the numbers are off, but you have no capacity to find out exactly where.
- You do not want to launch a six-month consulting project just to find out.
The First 48 Hours
Two full days in the plant.
Not in the meeting room.
Day 1: the line
Shift start, lines, changeovers, material flow. I talk to shift leaders and operators without their managers in the room.
Day 2: the numbers
OEE, scrap, overtime, inventory, delivery performance. What you measure and what you actually do. The gap between the two is the point.
At the end: one page
One metric, where it stands today, the 90-day target, the annual impact in euros and the first three steps. Printed, handed over on the shop floor.
Fixed fee: EUR 2,900 + VAT
- No hourly rates, no surprises on the invoice.
- I have one condition: I speak to shift leaders and operators one to one. Without that I do not take the job, because I would not see the real picture.
- Then you decide. You can run it with your own team from the one page. If you want me to do it with you, that is what the 90-day mandate is for. No obligation.
Who it is for, and who it is not
It is for you if
- you are an automotive Tier 1 or Tier 2 supplier with 200 to 1,500 people,
- you are the plant manager, managing director or head of operations, and you decide,
- there is one number that hurts and you want results within 90 days.
It is not for you if
- you want an audit report or a thick study,
- you are looking for team training (I have a different format for that, just ask),
- you will not let me onto the line or show me the real numbers.
I have sat in the chair you are sitting in
I started in 2001 as a mechanical engineer in product development at Visteon. I went on to run value streams of 110 to 680+ people, built engineering and project management teams at Bourns, and at BorgWarner I launched a greenfield plant, transferred production from Germany and Slovakia and finally, as plant manager, successfully closed a business unit’s operations in Hungary.
Since 2020 I have worked as an interim manager for mainly automotive suppliers. I do not hand over advice. I get it done together with your team and I leave it in a state that still works on day 91.
“They came in at a very difficult time and have been extremely helpful and supportive from day one. They were there to provide solutions under extreme pressure and stand their ground when the request was unreasonable. Without their daily support we would potentially face line stoppages at the various plants.”

Frequently asked questions
Why are two days enough?
Because I am not looking for everything. I am looking for one thing: the metric where most money is leaking and that your existing team can fix in 90 days. With twenty-five years on shop floors, that shows within two days. A full assessment is a different product and it rarely leads to action.
What do I need to prepare?
Site access for both days, an escort for the first hour, and access to production data (OEE, scrap, overtime, inventory, delivery).
We can sign an NDA beforehand if needed.
What if you find nothing?
I have not yet been in a plant where that was the case. If everything is in order, that is what goes on the one page, along with what to watch over the next year.
Who is Scaling Hub Zrt. on the proposal?
The company I work through. Proposals, contracts and invoices are issued by Scaling Hub Zrt., so you get a proper corporate contract and VAT invoice. The work is always carried out by me in person and the contract says so by name.
Which languages do you work in?
English and Hungarian. I understand German a little bit; in German-speaking plants the working language is English.
How soon can you come?
Typically within one to three weeks. We fix the dates on the 20-minute call.
Twenty minutes to find out if two days are worth it
You tell me which number hurts.
